I forgot to include our trip over to Crocodile Bank.
This facility had hundreds of different crocs, snakes, and turtles. Majority of the crocs looked alike.
We saw a man extract snake venom from one of the cobras. They slit the snakes belly to note they have extracted venom.
We then saw another man feed a couple of crocs some raw meat. The crocs aren't that active. They lay around in the sand soaking up sun all day. Even when the man threw the meat, the still didn't move much. A few of the crocs would fight over the meat a little, but weren't real aggressive.
Lucky Aparna got some crow crap dropped on her head and face. This was her second crap incident of the day. She had sat on some ox crap on our bullet ride.
Aparna's daughter saw a 10" lizard, but unfortunately I wasn't able to spot it quick enough.
Overall the croc bank was pretty cool. Of course I would think so, I like reptiles.
Today was relaxing. I woke up around 10, did a few things on my laptop. Got a phone call from Kandhan around 11. He was at the hotel and wanted to drop off some going away gifts. This guy has a big ol' heart!
Charles and I had a manicure/pedicure appt at 12. They were very nice, the treatment was very nice, but I think the manicurist hadn't done nails before :P. She didn't do a good job and said that my toe nails weren't long enough to do a french manicure. Um, the asian manicurist in SD was able to pull it off.
So, I have pretty toenails, but crappy messed up, need to do again fingernails :). However it was nice getting lotioned up and pampered.
Charles had an Indian 'Franc' doing his nails. This guy looked like a fashion queen/fag. He had his lambchops cut in a fancy angled design and had his hair nice and fruffed.
Charles had requested for dark purple polish for his toenails. The manicurists giggled and spoke to each other in Tamil. Yea, we know they were making fun of us :P.
On our way out the Taj Fishcove door Charles expressed his extreme dissapointment in his 'Fish Cove experience'. Our friends that visited were treated like 2nd class citizens, his glass shower door was falling off and never fixed, our fruit was like 4 days old, never replaced, we could hear clearly hear people in the halls and next door. Overall it wasn't how the Fish Cove should have been.
We arrived in Bangalore around 530 pm. Wow, what a difference. This city has a lot of western and British influence. The weather is more tolerable than Chennai. The streets actually have marked lanes, where 70% of the time are actually used. Streets aren't as packed (may change tomorrow during rush hour :)). Streets are cleaner. More greener, prettier scenery.
Charles isn't a Bangalore fan. He doesn't like how the residents treat people here. He says in Chennai the residents are much more nicer. I have not created an opinion yet. So far, I like the weather and look of this town better. We also have a friendlier driver. He actually tells us things, as well as asks how we are doing vs. the other driver who only said hello.
Room is nice, however no tub. Argh!
Ok, off to bed :)
